Mimosa Pudica in Indonesian language known as shy Princess, short shrubs in legumes tribal members. The leaves are quickly closing / “wither” by itself when touched and the most rapid of all members of beans that can do the same thing. The withered leaves occur temporarily because after a few minutes it would have recovered as before

In the Philippines called “Makahiya” meaning “shame”, mori vivi in the West Indies, mate-loi in China, and many other names that have the same meaning. Pudica itself in Latin means “shame” or “shrink”.

Yesterday, My daughter tried to get closer to this Mimosa and she thinks its name sounds so pretty name. Luckily she found it among the bushes around our house.
